**** Top 10 Vintage affordable Seiko - Part Two ****

[is that my watch]

well the ladies seiko arrived .. guess the seller was not happy I won it for £1.99 paid more for the postage. it was just dump unwrapped in a padded envelope ..

so have took the bracelet of clean and repaired it , it's not the original seiko but see a nice early decent looking one , have found a crown for it and it winds and sets but is running 20 mins slow so far and the movement feels loose in the case so guess I got to open it and regulate it and secure it .

well think am going to flip it as I ant got the right crown in my tat box and I thought I had a box of ss and brass crown but can I find that either plus it sits funny in the case feels loose but suppose that could be just a loud fly wheel maybe and needs regulating so yeah think a quick flip . I have got it from a none working dirty scratched up broken bracelet watch to some thing that looks really nice . so yeah think some one will give it a service it needs now maybe ..

thanks mate had maybe a bit of luck for a change

I got a ralco too looks fair con bit of water damage / or the clear varnished dial is pealing maybe or could be dirt (yes they say it's had a new crystal so guessing dirt /damp like on my old smiths where it sat in a draw for years crystal less ) but it looks sorta right think if not their it would not have spike my interest and the price may have been higher so yes got three tat lots.

1 set of two seikos one quartz one mech
2 one special seiko ..
3 the ralco lot ..

That looks cool! I’d love to see this with a new crystal. LM is such a great range, this model is new to me.

That is way cool. So an August ‘72 watch that Mrs Darnborough bought for someone as a Xmas present in Dec’73 I guess. So great to have all the paperwork.
